It may be rough weather outside,
but within the Community Building-
many of the basketeers and other
athletes regard the antics of old king
winter as mild stuff compared with
-what Tiappens on the gym floor.
"Up today, down tomorrow,'" is the
song many of the players are singing.
And it is the truth. Well, that is
what makes sport attractive—-uncertainty, and it is floating around m
chunks "just now.

Losing a Grouch
On'December 27
HERE are times in the lives of all
men when they want to denounce
the injustices of the hours in
which they live. "No one gives a
thought to or for his fellow being"
is what flashes through the mind, as
it did through mine on December 27.
"This beloved America of ours is a
land of grafters, shyster lawyers,
bribe-taking judges and district attorneys, and politicians without any
sense of decency. Little wonder Col.
Charles Lindbergh took his wife and
child to England for peace and
security."
Then you try to cross the public
square in Canton. You slip and a
reckless motor car driver misses you
by an inch. Your indignation is at
the Tjo'flrng -point. After several frantic efforts you reach the pavement.
It is early in the morning. Your
opinion of city officials and police is
harsh.
XXX
HEN you enter the Betsy Ross
restaurant. A girl approaches.
She greets you with a smile.
"Cup of coffee." You drink it, and
while doing so glance at the Plain
Dealer. Nothing new. The same old
stuff. Kidnappings, murders and holdups. "Grand country," you murmur
in disgust.
The waitress asks you in a respectful way, "Anything else, sir?" "You
growl, "No!"
At the cash register as you pass out
the.cashier smiles. "Somewhat (slippery this -morning; "Mr. Long. Please
be careful:" Ton growl your "Thanks,
I will'."
Outside, your thoughts flow rapidly.
"Those girls hadi no reason to 'be :nice
to me, but they were, and I never
even smiled:"
On the corner I bump into a well-
groomed man whose appearance leads-
me to believe that his wife looked
him carefully over before she permitted him to start for his office on
the 10th floor in the Renkert building.
It is Charles R. Raedel, famous as
the lawyer who stopped the lynching'
of an Alliance young man in Iowa,
and eventually returned him to 'his
relatives and friends.
Raedel is taking his morning walk.
"Come and join me." We keep step.
I look at liis smile as lie tells of his
happiness-over four orphans he anil
his wife 'had made happy over
Christmas.
Everyone of intelligence "knows that
when Attorney ..rCharles R. Raedel's
name is mentioned certain people
take -to the fire escape or the cyclone
cellar. If there is another exit, so
much the better. Raedel doesn't mince
words, he is just plain,, everyday
Charley. Yet his greatest pleasure is
in making people happy.

In a letter-to The'Sun concerning
future road assessments George N.
Graham, proseouting attorney of
Stark county, explains the Armbruster law as follows:
There seems to be an impression
prevalent among the rural taxpayers
of Stark county that they will be relieved of future road assessments because of the enactment of the so-
called "Armbruster road assessment
refunding law."
The situation being entirely different at the present time from what
these taxpayers believe it to be, I feel
that some publicity should be given
about the matter, and accordingly, I

.9183 .More Mortgages Jn 1935 Than
In .1931, Says.Shisler.
According to the monthly report of
County Recorder .Frank J, Shisler
there were 353 deeds with a total
consideration of $313,700.54 and 222
real estate mortgages witli a total
consideration of $8(il,05S.41 recorded
during December. Chattel mortgages
filed for the month numbered 3929
and total fees collected in the office
amounted to $2264.67.
In making a summary of tlie past
year's business the report .discloses
recordings as follows: 5010 deeds,
2975 real estate mortgages, 494 oil
and gas leases, 103 property leases,
1377 miscellaneous instruments. In
-addition there were 44,59.7 chattel
mortgages, 3365 fire, casualty and life
.insurance licenses, 127 recognizance
bonds and 131 excise tax liens filed
in the office during the year 1935.
Total consideration of deeds for the
past year amounted to $3,6S3,491.21
■and of real .estate .mortgages .,$121,-
.755,154.32 while-cancellations of mortgages aggregated $12,984,665.30.
Total fees for recorded anch filed in-
■stauments for 1985 amounted *.to
$28,553.90.
Chattel mortgages filed in the recorder's office serve as a good barometer for retail imeJichaniliBing. It is
.quite interesting, fc> inote that there
were 9183 more mortgages filed -in
1935 than in 1934, a gain of over 25
per ,aent. The total figiures sate 44;597
in 1935—35,414 in 1934.
Vanishing Street Cars
THE daily newspapers carried a state-
'ment under a New York dateline
on Monday that "Street cars will
make their last trips on Eighth , and
Ninth avenues this week." Horse cars
in that city disappeared about 20
years, ago, or 30 years after smaller
towns had discarded them.
Street cars are nothing except
memories in many cities, and The Sun
regrets the passing of the cars between Canton and Cleveland. Fortunately you can ride to Alliance or
Massillon on a street car equal to a
railroad Pullman. How long they will
last is problematical.
Busses have taken the place of the
trolley cars. The average bus is nothing*, more or less than a sardine can,
and the smaller the can the more it
resembles a bus and occupants.
When the trolley cars were young,
Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote of them
as forming the broomstick train:
Witches- riding those modern broomsticks appeared in the troubled
dreams of steam railroad men, as the
trolley lines were extended from city
to city. A high price was paid as
bribes to certain councilmen to "see
tlie advantages of the trolley."
Strange though it may seem to the
average man and woman, every improvement in America has gained its
point by bribery. The steam roads,
the telegraph, the telephone—all had
to hand money to certain men before
they could "get going."
The trolley car which was one of
the marvels of the dismal nineties
was not destined to rival the deacon's
one-hoss shay and serve for a century. The trolley is on its way to
Henry Ford's museum. The rails on
which it traveled- along the countryside have been torn up. Now it is
destined to disappear from the largest
American city.

Must Collect Assessments
The county treasurer has asked me
for an opinion as to what his duty
will be at the next tax collection
period as to collecting road assessments from which, under the Armbruster law, the taxpayers of Stark
county understood they were relieved.
We have been obliged to inform
him that it will be necessary for him
to collect these assessments due to
the fact that it is not possible at the
present time to pay the assessments
any other way, unless the Supreme
Court declares the law to be constitutional.
Can't Sell Bonds
Following the provisions of the
law, tlie commissioners of Stark
county have passed a resolution to
issue bonds .in the amount of $455,000
to meet these road assessments in
1936. However, due to a decision of
tlie Common Pleas Court at Springfield, Clark county, which holds that
the law is unconstitutional, it is impossible to sell the bonds. If the bonds
are not sold, the taxpayers against
whom the assessments were originally
made, will be obliged to pay these
assessments.
Counties Favor the Law
Stark county, together with about
ten other counties, have joined together in an effort to have the law
declared constitutional. In furtherance
of that effort a case has been filed
directly in the Supreme Court of Ohio
ami briefs in support of the constitutionality of the law are being prepared in the office of the Stark county
prosecutor a.s well as in the offices
of the other prosecutors of those
counties in favor of the law.
We hope for an early hearing in
the Supreme Court -so that we may
know just where we stand, if possible
before the collection of taxes start.
Again, if the law. is -declared unconstitutional it may. be possible for the
legislature to amend the unconstitutional provisions of the law and provide other means of meeting these
road assessments.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE N. GRAHAM,
Prosecuting Attorney.

as if most of the great writers have
dealt with the war: topic, and so far
as the records show, they are
' unanimously against it. He quotes Sir
Walter Scott, for example. During the
storming of Front-de-Boeuf's castle,
with fair Rebecca, at the window, describing the onset to the disabled
Ivanhoe, she exclaims:
They press the besieged hard upon
the outer wall. Some plant ladders;
some swarm like bees, and endeavor
to ascend upon the shoulders of each
other. Down go stones, beams and
trunks of trees upon their heads.
. . . Great God, hast thou given
men thine own image, that It should
be thus cruelly defaced by the hands
of their brethren! ■
Later, when Ivanhoe extols to the
maiden the beauty of "the laws of
chivalry to which we are sworn," she
makes answer:
Alasl And what Is It, valiant
knight, save an offering of sacrifice
to a demon of vainglory, and a passing through the fire to Moloch7
What remains to you a3 the prize of
all the blood you have* spilled, of all
the travail and ■ pain you have endured, of all the tears which your
deeds have caused, when death hath
broken the strongi man's spear, and
overtaken the speed :of his warhorse?
"Glory," alasl Is the rusted mall
which hangs as a hatchment over the
champion's dim and moldering tomb,
is the defaced sculpture of the Inscription which the Ignorant monk
can hardly read to the inquiring pilgrim—are these sufficient rewards
for the sacrifice.of every kindly affection, for a life spent- miserably that
ye may make others miserable?
"Those were the primitive days of
stones and beams, of battle-axes and
cloth-yard shaft. One may well wonder what language the great Sir
Walter would have thought needful in
this modern era of long-range cannon
and of poison gas," writes Sproul.
As Mr. Sproul says, "Those were
the days of stones and battle-axes."
Yet though details of terror have
changed with the years, war's essence
has not changed. It still is precisely
what General Sherman declared it to
be, or what was in Benjamin Franklin's heart when he wrote_ those memorable words to Josiah Quincy: "There
never was a good war or a bad
peace!"

of age.
The Russian government employed
him to teach electrical engineering to
young men in that country. At the
expiration of his contract the Soviet
authorities refused to permit his wife,
who was born in Europe ,and their
Russian-born son to leave Russia.

Losing a Grouch
On'December 27
HERE are times in the lives of all
men when they want to denounce
the injustices of the hours in
which they live. "No one gives a
thought to or for his fellow being"
is what flashes through the mind, as
it did through mine on December 27.
"This beloved America of ours is a
land of grafters, shyster lawyers,
bribe-taking judges and district attorneys, and politicians without any
sense of decency. Little wonder Col.
Charles Lindbergh took his wife and
child to England for peace and
security."
Then you try to cross the public
square in Canton. You slip and a
reckless motor car driver misses you
by an inch. Your indignation is at
the Tjo'flrng -point. After several frantic efforts you reach the pavement.
It is early in the morning. Your
opinion of city officials and police is
harsh.
XXX
HEN you enter the Betsy Ross
restaurant. A girl approaches.
She greets you with a smile.
"Cup of coffee." You drink it, and
while doing so glance at the Plain
Dealer. Nothing new. The same old
stuff. Kidnappings, murders and holdups. "Grand country," you murmur
in disgust.
The waitress asks you in a respectful way, "Anything else, sir?" "You
growl, "No!"
At the cash register as you pass out
the.cashier smiles. "Somewhat (slippery this -morning; "Mr. Long. Please
be careful:" Ton growl your "Thanks,
I will'."
Outside, your thoughts flow rapidly.
"Those girls hadi no reason to 'be :nice
to me, but they were, and I never
even smiled:"
On the corner I bump into a well-
groomed man whose appearance leads-
me to believe that his wife looked
him carefully over before she permitted him to start for his office on
the 10th floor in the Renkert building.
It is Charles R. Raedel, famous as
the lawyer who stopped the lynching'
of an Alliance young man in Iowa,
and eventually returned him to 'his
relatives and friends.
Raedel is taking his morning walk.
"Come and join me." We keep step.
I look at liis smile as lie tells of his
happiness-over four orphans he anil
his wife 'had made happy over
Christmas.
Everyone of intelligence "knows that
when Attorney ..rCharles R. Raedel's
name is mentioned certain people
take -to the fire escape or the cyclone
cellar. If there is another exit, so
much the better. Raedel doesn't mince
words, he is just plain,, everyday
Charley. Yet his greatest pleasure is
in making people happy.

Vanishing Street Cars
THE daily newspapers carried a state-
'ment under a New York dateline
on Monday that "Street cars will
make their last trips on Eighth , and
Ninth avenues this week." Horse cars
in that city disappeared about 20
years, ago, or 30 years after smaller
towns had discarded them.
Street cars are nothing except
memories in many cities, and The Sun
regrets the passing of the cars between Canton and Cleveland. Fortunately you can ride to Alliance or
Massillon on a street car equal to a
railroad Pullman. How long they will
last is problematical.
Busses have taken the place of the
trolley cars. The average bus is nothing*, more or less than a sardine can,
and the smaller the can the more it
resembles a bus and occupants.
When the trolley cars were young,
Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote of them
as forming the broomstick train:
Witches- riding those modern broomsticks appeared in the troubled
dreams of steam railroad men, as the
trolley lines were extended from city
to city. A high price was paid as
bribes to certain councilmen to "see
tlie advantages of the trolley."
Strange though it may seem to the
average man and woman, every improvement in America has gained its
point by bribery. The steam roads,
the telegraph, the telephone—all had
to hand money to certain men before
they could "get going."
The trolley car which was one of
the marvels of the dismal nineties
was not destined to rival the deacon's
one-hoss shay and serve for a century. The trolley is on its way to
Henry Ford's museum. The rails on
which it traveled- along the countryside have been torn up. Now it is
destined to disappear from the largest
American city.

Must Collect Assessments
The county treasurer has asked me
for an opinion as to what his duty
will be at the next tax collection
period as to collecting road assessments from which, under the Armbruster law, the taxpayers of Stark
county understood they were relieved.
We have been obliged to inform
him that it will be necessary for him
to collect these assessments due to
the fact that it is not possible at the
present time to pay the assessments
any other way, unless the Supreme
Court declares the law to be constitutional.
Can't Sell Bonds
Following the provisions of the
law, tlie commissioners of Stark
county have passed a resolution to
issue bonds .in the amount of $455,000
to meet these road assessments in
1936. However, due to a decision of
tlie Common Pleas Court at Springfield, Clark county, which holds that
the law is unconstitutional, it is impossible to sell the bonds. If the bonds
are not sold, the taxpayers against
whom the assessments were originally
made, will be obliged to pay these
assessments.
Counties Favor the Law
Stark county, together with about
ten other counties, have joined together in an effort to have the law
declared constitutional. In furtherance
of that effort a case has been filed
directly in the Supreme Court of Ohio
ami briefs in support of the constitutionality of the law are being prepared in the office of the Stark county
prosecutor a.s well as in the offices
of the other prosecutors of those
counties in favor of the law.
We hope for an early hearing in
the Supreme Court -so that we may
know just where we stand, if possible
before the collection of taxes start.
Again, if the law. is -declared unconstitutional it may. be possible for the
legislature to amend the unconstitutional provisions of the law and provide other means of meeting these
road assessments.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE N. GRAHAM,
Prosecuting Attorney.

as if most of the great writers have
dealt with the war: topic, and so far
as the records show, they are
' unanimously against it. He quotes Sir
Walter Scott, for example. During the
storming of Front-de-Boeuf's castle,
with fair Rebecca, at the window, describing the onset to the disabled
Ivanhoe, she exclaims:
They press the besieged hard upon
the outer wall. Some plant ladders;
some swarm like bees, and endeavor
to ascend upon the shoulders of each
other. Down go stones, beams and
trunks of trees upon their heads.
. . . Great God, hast thou given
men thine own image, that It should
be thus cruelly defaced by the hands
of their brethren! ■
Later, when Ivanhoe extols to the
maiden the beauty of "the laws of
chivalry to which we are sworn," she
makes answer:
Alasl And what Is It, valiant
knight, save an offering of sacrifice
to a demon of vainglory, and a passing through the fire to Moloch7
What remains to you a3 the prize of
all the blood you have* spilled, of all
the travail and ■ pain you have endured, of all the tears which your
deeds have caused, when death hath
broken the strongi man's spear, and
overtaken the speed :of his warhorse?
"Glory," alasl Is the rusted mall
which hangs as a hatchment over the
champion's dim and moldering tomb,
is the defaced sculpture of the Inscription which the Ignorant monk
can hardly read to the inquiring pilgrim—are these sufficient rewards
for the sacrifice.of every kindly affection, for a life spent- miserably that
ye may make others miserable?
"Those were the primitive days of
stones and beams, of battle-axes and
cloth-yard shaft. One may well wonder what language the great Sir
Walter would have thought needful in
this modern era of long-range cannon
and of poison gas," writes Sproul.
As Mr. Sproul says, "Those were
the days of stones and battle-axes."
Yet though details of terror have
changed with the years, war's essence
has not changed. It still is precisely
what General Sherman declared it to
be, or what was in Benjamin Franklin's heart when he wrote_ those memorable words to Josiah Quincy: "There
never was a good war or a bad
peace!"
